Hailed as the teen queen of the mid-1990s, Alicia Silverstone rapidly ascended the summit of idol Dom with the help of an infamous Aerosmith video and starring roles in the cult trash favourite The Crush and Amy Heckerling's sleeper hit Clueless. Despite such a promising beginning to her career, however, the vivacious, green-eyed blonde subsequently weathered a series of professional set-backs, due to poor film choices, weight issues, and an industry increasingly congested with such similarly ebullient young starlets as Sarah Michelle Gellar and Jennifer Love Hewitt. By the end of the decade, Silverstone's future looked uncertain, although many observers noted that her youth and talent made her chances for a comeback entirely plausible.
